Lotus transaxels

I have a shot at one of the transaxels used by Lotus from when they were active in racing several years ago. I don't have any serial numbers yet, but I plan to talk to Lotus about the units and how much power they will handle. Anyone know much about these units???

Re: Lotus transaxels

It'll be an uprated Renault unit I imagine, might be wrong but that's what they used in Esprits.

Re: Lotus transaxels

I have a couple of mails from Lotus on my PC in work on this. It is a Renault transaxle. I'll get the details tomorrow.

Re: Lotus transaxels

Bill,
Here witht he info:
[ QUOTE ]
The transmission fitted to the Esprit V8 is a Renault type UN1 027. This
transmission has been developed from an original Renault application now
long since out of production, and has been considerably uprated to meet the
requirements of the 400Nm the Esprit makes. For use with this level of
torque, only types UN1 027 or UN1 028 (Esprit GT3) should be considered.
